Instructions

To Make Lemon Herb Piccata Sauce:

In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add shallots and garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the lemon juice, white wine, chicken stock, and capers and cook for 5 minutes. Add heavy cream and parsley and cook for an additional 8—10 minutes until the sauce has thickened to your liking. Add salt to taste.

To Prepare Meal:

Cook fish per package instructions.

While fish is cooking, heat medium-large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter to skillet, followed by zucchini noodles. Sauté, stirring regularly for 3—5 minutes until tender.

Pour part of Lemon Caper Piccata Sauce into skillet (reserve some sauce for final drizzle), and toss to evenly coat, about 1 minute.

Divide the zucchini noodles between two plates and top with the tilapia portions and sauce. Enjoy!
